Hi and welcome.
One of the guys on this site, gaspumprob, had several A-38s he was trying to sell a couple of months back. He is a good guy. I don't know if you are looking for one from the U.S. or not.
There is a gas pump price guide availabe from Jack Sim that will give suggested prices.
Plenty of reproduction parts available. I would get a pump that is as complete as can be so you don't have to look like crazy to find parts for it--just the cosmetic stuff.
Gas Pump Heaven and Vic's 66 have repro parts. Several other places, too.
Hope that this helps.

Hi and welcome to the site.
That is a great pump, very desirable. The value all depends on the condition and especially if it still retains the top, but Jack Sims book (1st Ed) places the value about $1100. Keep in mind that this is just a guide. As Dave said, parts are available but it gets pricey if the pump needs a lot of parts. Good looking pump.
Stay in touch here, don't be afraid to ask questions and post pics when you get your pump.

Tony, no leads on a national A38 but I know of a National A1 not too far from you, not 100% sure if it would be for sale, i'll dig out the guy's phone number if you're interested.

Go to pictures in the top row here on "Oldgas".
Look in the gas pump albums and you will find a good selection of both A38's and A1's - easy to see differences and if you like it enough.
